Duke players only chose the school for the degree, not because of illegal payments

So essentially Marvin Bagley and Zion Williamson were on the open market to be bought, but all of a sudden no one was able to buy them except for—oh, Duke. I figured it out, though... they decided to go for the diploma, a long-term investment, as opposed to a quick infusion of cash.

The take is satirical; Duke was later implicated in the same investigations and the 'degree' argument is a mocking of NCAA PR.

Dan Snyder is the best talent evaluator in the history of the NFL

I don't do overreactions, but Dan Snyder is the best talent evaluator in the history of the National Football League.

Dwayne Haskins was a major draft bust and Snyder was widely criticized for his interference in the pick.

Kyler Murray liking The Great Gatsby is the biggest red flag possible

Kyler Murray says that his favorite movie of all time is Great Gatsby. That is the biggest red flag we've ever seen. Also, I'm pretty sure Kyler Murray is the kind of guy that likes the Great Gatsby because he thinks Gatsby's cool as hell right? And he like throws these sick parties... He does the leo dance 15 years after it was cool. There was nothing cool about that book or that movie.

Subjective take on personality based on movie taste.

NFL teams should wait until a training camp injury occurs before trading Josh Rosen

They've got to wait until someone gets injured. A Teddy Bridgewater injury—we don't root for injuries, but that would be one to trade him. It's still going to be very awkward to have Josh Rosen and Kyler Murray in the same QB room if he somehow stays on the team for the next three months.

The Cardinals traded Josh Rosen to the Dolphins the very next day (April 26, 2019) for a 2nd round pick and a 5th round pick, so they did not wait for a training camp injury.

The Brewers' pressure created their 'lucky' breaks

That's not luck. That's just the Brewers and what they did to you mentally, where it's like you have to be perfect and almost made teams just become a worse version of themselves because of what the Brewers were doing to them.

This is an evaluative baseball argument rather than a claim with one definitive result.

The Bears are building around Jeffrey Simmons correctly

Jeffrey Simmons is an absolute game wrecker. Top three at his position, changes everyone around him. The Bears had a weakness in their defense, especially run defense. They made it a strength.

The assessment of Simmons' impact and positional ranking is partly subjective and will depend on his Chicago performance.
